After sitting on the sidelines for most of the first half, Rukawa couldn't resist the desire to fight in his heart, and he looked very active after playing.

Under Suzuki's instructions, Sakuragi also shifted the focus of the offense to Rukawa, allowing him to make layups one after another at the end of the first half to steal points.

However, Liuchuan's activity alone did not play a role in turning the situation, and by the end of the first half, Xiangbei took the lead, but it was only 2 points, a goal difference.

48-50。

The defense of both teams in the first half was actually not bad, but the shooting percentage on both sides was quite high.

Moreover, in this half, both sides made a lot of three-point shots.

Xiangbei's three-point shot was 5 of 9 shots, and Xiangyang's was 7 of 10 shots.

Relying on three-pointers, both of Xiangyang's guards scored double-doubles in the half. Enomoto scored 13 points, and Mitsui scored 18 points.

It was just a few days ago, and at halftime, Suzuki didn't say much, just asked the substitutes to warm up.

In fact, how to play at the beginning of the second half, Suzuki had already calculated in his heart, and he did it just to confuse Fujima.

Of course, this kind of little trick is also used by Fuji Zhen, a rookie coach who catches ducks on the shelves, if he is replaced by Coach Anzai, or Takaotou and Taoka, he will not be like this.

In front of these old foxes, small means are basically useless, even if they can deceive the other party, the effect is very limited, and in the end, it still depends on the overall strength of the team to speak.

Fujima seemed to be really confused by Suzuki, and at the beginning of the second half, he replaced Takano and Enomoto, replaced Nagano and Inada, and then saw that Akagi also stayed on the court to rest, and replaced the third center Kikuchi on the court.

Nagano is a third-year student at the same level as Fujima and Mitsui, and his usual position is Mitsui's substitute, but playing power forward as Takano's substitute is also completely suitable, and even better than playing small forward.

Kikuchi and Inada are both sophomores and have a lot fewer opportunities to play than Nagano compared to several other substitutes.

Kikuchi is a big bamboo pole, affected by the flower shape, and the mid-throw practice is good, but his confrontation ability is much worse than the flower shape.

Maori was suppressed by Hanagata in the second half of the jump ball and in the first defense, but Fujima replaced Hanagata with such a classmate, which made him play with confidence.

Turning around to dunk, retreating and shooting, various low-post techniques, Maori made it smoothly by Kikuchi's side, and played like a fish in water.

Nagano wanted to lean over to support, but Hotta was not a vegetarian either, so he immediately used a dunk to suck him up firmly, leaving him with no time to care.

Although Xiangbei played well on the inside, the difference was never opened. After Enomoto got off the court, he was replaced by Inada who was in the three-point line, but his mid-range shooting percentage was quite good, and three times in a row, all of them were shot in Rukawa's defense.

Shohoku's lineup in the second half was center Mori, power forward Hotta, playmaker Mizuno, swing man Rukawa and point guard Sakuragi.

Xiangyang didn't dare to replace Mitsui for a break, and Xiangbei didn't dare to change Sakuragi.

Also playing the point guard position, Mitsui's passing ability is not as good as Makki's, but his finishing ability is much stronger than Makki's. Mitsui doesn't need to go to the three-point line to score, which is why Suzuki replaced Mizuno, but he didn't dare to let Mizuno directly face Mitsui.

Mizuno's play, even if it is aimed at Shuiqian Temple, the effect of this adjustment is very good, and it directly paralyzes Xiangyang's deputy control.

Mitsui made two three-pointers and scored only one, after which he focused on organizing the offense.

Like Mitsui, Sakuragi's scoring has stalled since the start of the second half.

After half the fight, both of them needed to take a break.

However, as the game progressed, Mitsui realized that he was not actually resting. After all, Mizuzenji is young, and in the face of Mizuno, he does nothing on the offensive end, and he is even more porous on the defensive end. Experience, technique, and even physical strength are inferior, and his role on the field is almost none.

Fujima was a little slower to react, and it wasn't until seven minutes into the second half that Shoyang trailed by nine points that he made adjustments and replaced Mizuzenji with Ito.

Mizuno's role was crucial, yet not everyone could see his contribution. During this time, Rukawa became the most dazzling star on the field in the eyes of most audiences.

The wind-like breakthrough, the ornamental dunk, the forced shot to score under the defense, the continuous cover of Nagano and Inada shots on the inside and outside, and every touch of the ball by Rukawa caused a tsunami of cheers from the spectators on the sidelines.

The rest of the Xiangyang players wanted to help the rice field, but they were all powerless.

First, the location of Rukawa is too lively. On offense, from the basket to the three-point line, his shooting points are everywhere. The speed of the rice fields was slow, and they couldn't keep up with Rukawa, and after being freed, they could only watch Rukawa make a wanton move.

Second, the rest of the players in Xiangbei have pulled away one by one, and except for Hotta, who is standing under the basket, everyone has the ability to shoot in the middle and long range, and none of them can be empty.

Ito switched positions with Inada on the field, and without Suzuki making a sound, Rukawa and Mizuno automatically switched positions and continued to suppress the opposing Shoyo players.

Xiangyang's offensive still did not improve.

Ito is Shoyo's No. 4 point guard, and the playing sequence is still behind Yoshiki Anzai and Kiyoshi Mizuzen. Yoshiki Anzai did not appear on the bench on the sidelines today, and Suizenji was exhausted, and Fujima needed to sit on the sidelines, which gave him a chance to play.

Ito knew that the opportunity he got was not easy, and he played very calmly, but now Xiangyang urgently needs to equalize, and the frontline is not a good player at attacking with the ball, he is just wasting time and physical strength in vain.

Kikuchi, Nagano and Inada ran two laps, but Ito still couldn't pass the ball, and seeing that the time to attack was about to be up, Mitsui shouted: "Give me the ball!" ”

Ito, like Feng Lunyin, hurriedly sent the ball to Mitsui's side.

However, Mizuno had been waiting for him for a long time, and suddenly started to pounce forward, reached out to cut off the pass, and then distributed the ball to the other side and gave it to Mori before Mitsui blocked it.

Maori was robbed of the limelight by Rukawa for a while and wanted to get one for himself, although Rukawa followed and got closer to the basket, but instead of passing, he suddenly stopped and pulled out a jumper.

Mori's choice made Nagano who followed him rush over, but Kikuchi made up for it and interfered with Mori.

Maori's mid-range shot was subpar this time, smashing into the front of the hoop and bouncing high.

In the end, Rukawa showed off.

He jumped on top of the rice field, took the rebound, and before he could hit the ground, he raised his hand and threw it up.

This time-grabbing blow made Nagano's defense empty, and brushed Nagano's fingers, and the basketball flipped into the hoop.

It's only half a step away.
